Washington never saw, but it was this
absent Thomas who exerted The
strongest influence over young George
Washington's developing youth, and
excited n spirit of manliness and emula-
tion that none of his actual associates
could inspire. Before Washington be-
came intimate at Belvoir, young
Thomas Fairfax, then scarcely moro
than a child, had been made mid
shipman in the "King's Navee, and had
sailed away to foreign sees whence he
never returned.
His father inscribed upon the mar
BILE that commemorated his death tha.

no boy excel him, full of high senti-
ments of honor, loyalty, and duty--who
can doubt what pulses thrilled the
heart of Washington, when this exam
pie was brought face to face with him
every hour of his life? Who can fail
to see in these events the motives which
led him to seek, like Fairfax, mid
shipman's commission? You all know
the story: how vessel waited in the
Potomac; how Washington's luggage
was sent on board; how his mother,
agonized lest her son, too, should die
among strangers on far-off seas, inter-
yened; and how, ut her entreaties, he
abandoned n career that seemed to
him full of promise and glory,-all
these are familiar themes. He laid his
ambition at his mothers feet, and
turned his steps to the then quiet paths
that lay about his home. And soon
hose paths extended into scenes of
.,eril and adventure that gave him fame
even before he reached the age at
which Thomas Fairfax fell. But the
influence of the midshipman's example
did not stop there. And the heights of
Boston and the field of Yorktown wit
messed in after years the display of the
martial spirit that was quickened into
life by the memory of Thomas Fairfax
and of his death in that unchronicled
fight, when the Virginia boy builded

More are Coming.

By private letter from Mr.. VIM.
Kane, of Bemond, Wright county,
Iowa, we are informed that number
of the good people of that county will
come to our parish-"the EIdorado of
Southwest Louisiana" as he terms it
carly in the coming spring. Mr.. Kane
says he is thoroughly acquainted with
our climate, having visited Louisiana
as early as 1847-48, and is convinced
that it is all that could be desired athe
year round. Mr.. Kame's visit in the
long ago left good impression as TO
our State, as he says II think it
the most attractive slope Of country
that ever passed through"
The EoHo thanks the gentleman for
the words in praise of Louisiana, and
especially for those in reference to
Caleasieu, and will say that no section
IN the South more warmly welcomes
their Northern brethren than ours.
The latch-string of hospitality hangs
on the outside of every door in Cal
casleu parish, and all that our North
ern friends have to do when they come
here is to pull the string, walk in and
be welcomed as friends and brothers.
No sectional prejudices rests in the
minds of orr people, their sole object
is TO build mp their parish by develop
ing its untold resources, and to this
end extend cordial welcome to all
to come and share in the harvest of
good things that awaits all alike.

A PETITION has been sent to Con.
gross asking that Bayou Ilafourche be
dredged and improved so MS 10 render
il nayigable the year round FOR stenrn-
ers. Lafourche is one of the most i'm
portaHt streams in this Stare as it
passes through section of country
that produces at least ono third of the
sugar Of the State, and this interest
italone, if nothing else, should stimulate
our representatives TO sec. that this
stream receive proper attention at the
hands Of the government. The Times
Democrat in speaking on This subject,
says eThe trade of the Lafourche
section is worthy Of some considera-
.tion from The general government.
There were shipped thence by steamer
last year 100000 pounds Of sugar,
100000 gallons OF molasscs and o.
o0O barrels OF rice, besides other pro-
dnce, 10 the total value of 81, 2B0, BOO;
and there were shipped in return sup
plies to about the same value, making
a total trade of 81, $50, 900. Is not
this trade deserving Of some consider
alton at the hands of the United
States The Lafourche can be made
naVigable throughout the year, at
small cost, when once dredged."

n. ]. World.
There is really very little ground
for an honest disagreement as 10 what
the "war taxes" ait, which everybody
agrees should be reduced as means
of preventing the Treasury surplus.
The Sun thinks the ProteCtionists
have the best of the argument in hold
ing that ''the war taxes mean the in
ternal revenue" 1t admits that the
tariff was increased during the war,
but says, ''the tariff was there before
the war;" while the internal revenue
system was ''the direct consequence
of the war" 1t is true the tariff was
here before the war. But it was
an IS per cent. tariff, not 4G per
cent tariff. 1t collected from the peo-
Pile from S4O,0OO,O0O to S50,OO0,0O0
yearly, instead of S2l6, 0oo, 900, which
the present tariff extracts from them.
The difference between an 6 per cent.
and 46 per cent. average duty there
fore represents the amount of war
taxes left in the tariff. And while the
whole of the vast and complicated
system of internal revenue taxes has
been repealed, save only the taxes up
on spirits and tobacco, and the col
Iections reduced from S309, 100000
in 1866 to SII2,O0O,0OO last year, the
''prnIonged war tariff is still within
p per cent, of the highest rate ever
reached, and will yield this year over
$40, 100000 more than in 1866
The Democratic platform does, as
our contemporary suggests, call the
internal revenue "war taxes but it
rightly declares that they should be
used in meeting those expenses of the
government which are a legacy of the
war. The pensions alone will require
SIG, 900, 900, and the interest on the
war debt nearly $5O,00O,OOO more.
While these expenses continue it
would be unjust to surrender alto
gether the revenue from taxes upon
Injuries aud induIgences. The war
taxes TO be first reduced should be
those upon the necessaries of the poo
Pile.

AN association which exists to a
large extent in the State of Texas,
known as the Farmers Alliance, is be-
ing organized in different portions of
Northwest Louisiana. The objects of
this association are for the furtheranCe
of agricultural pursuits and to keep
the farmer out of debt. It advocates
economy, industry and honesty, and
strives to get its members in such u
financial condition as will enable them
to purchase such supplies and goods
as they may need with cash money,
and thereby get them at much lower
prices than they are required to pay
when they are supplied on credit.
Such a society should be encouraged,
for if properly conducted and the real
purposes for which it is organized is
pursued it will work much good in
the country.
